 SMART TALK
By Nurse Garrel S. Utter
HIGHLY POSSIBLE: At the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired, we treat polysyllabificationitis at the William Safire Center. A pernicious disease indeed, polysyllabificationitis occurs even in the highest levels of government.
Besides interpretative and misunderestimate, patients say highly possible instead of probable and partly destroyed instead of damaged.
Diagnosis is difficult. This is somewhat like William F. Buckley Syndrome, due to which the patient will say lacerations and contusions instead of cuts and bruises, but it also borders on cerebroporosis.
So you see our problem.

ITHACA, NY: The Kitchen Theatre Company (KTC) continues its 2005/06 - 15th Anniversary MAIN STAGE Season with The Accidental Activist, Kathryn Blume's solo play written in response to her real-life experience as the co-creator of the Lysistrata Project. Directed by Jason Jacobs (originally developed and directed by Michaela Hall) and performed by the playwright/actor Kathryn Blume, The Accidental Activist begins previews on Thursday, April 20 at 7:30pm, opens Saturday, April 22, and runs through Saturday, May 13, 2006. Laced with optimistic socio-political observations and clever sketches depicting determined women of the world, this bold and uncontainable performer recounts her story and imagines how she might possibly make a difference on a planet that couldn't care less. November 2002: Kathryn is an exuberant out-of-work NYC actress and environmentalist with gargantuan dreams of stardom, a deep desire for world-salvation and a serious chai addiction. Enraged by the impending war in Iraq, she struggles with a sense of helplessness about America's direction - a feeling made more acute by her stalled acting career and dead-end job. Her despair activates an inspirational (and accidental) journey as she inadvertently kicks off a global act of theatrical dissent that results in the Lysistrata Project, readings and performances of the ancient Greek anti-war comedy performed on a world-wide scale. After two months of 18-hour days, The Lysistrata Project is a raging success with over 1000 simultaneous readings in 59 countries and in all 50 states; but after the project is over, Kathryn still doesn't have an acting career and the U.S. goes to war anyway. In the aftermath, she discovers that while she hasn't saved the world, she has activated a transformation in herself.

SMART TALK
By Dr. Parley Speake
HOPEFULLY: Most of us at the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired have fought the brainless use of hopefully for years. However, identical constructions such as, “Fortunately, I had my grammar book,” or, “Presumably, you’re an expert,” are accepted and used by the same infallible experts, namely, most of us.
This leads a liberal minority at the Institute, pointing out that we also no longer distinguish between “shall” and “will,” to urge us to relax. “Hey this is a dynamic language,” they assure us.
